List of Germany national rugby union team results
The Germany national rugby union team is the national team of the third-tier rugby union-playing nation Germany. They first played in 1927 and have yet to qualify for the Rugby World Cup. Rugby union in Germany is administered by the Deutscher Rugby-Verband. The German National Team regularly compete in the European Nations Cup, the senior men's rugby tournament for European nations below the Six Nations. Following victory in Division 2A of that tournament in 2006–08, Germany competed in Division One, the top tier of the European Nations Cup for 2008-10 but was relegated again immediately.
This is a list of games played by the German team against other nations and selections. Non-national team selections like second or amateur teams are distinguished by XV behind the union's name.
